The Clan and the Chief

The closer they got to the Amos Icefield, the colder it became. The snow and ice were permanent fixtures in this northernmost tip of the Alen Continent. Beyond this point, there was only ocean. In the depths of winter, even the sea would freeze completely.

On the edge of the icefield, there lived some orc tribes. They subsisted by gathering the specialties of the region, including the antlers of Amos white deer and the fur of the ice bears. There were fish and shrimp under the ice layer, which were unique to Amos, as well as musk leopards. These were some of the most sought-after goods in all of the orc and human kingdoms.

Elia's caravan would visit the icefield several times per year, in order to trade with the clans. He would bring them food, weapons, clothes and other daily necessities in exchange for their local products. It was an extremely lucrative trade.
